Well it took me long enought to get this thing done. SO finaly I have mounted Renthal Dakar High bars to my KLE. The bike put up a fight, but in the end I managed to get it sorted (almost ).
1. Old bars comming off:
2. Bars side by side (more one over the other )
3. Test fit to mark where the hole for throttle controls will be drilled
4. 5mm hole drilled, though Renthal does't suggest drilling
5. Almost done. I need to buy 2 bolts for handguards (don't know why the pic is so blury, will post a beeter one in the comming days)
Word of warning for all who want to use Renthal grips, they are a bit to short for throttle side :
Stock cables are long enough, but need a bit of rerouting to prevent binding. I did a few laps in front of the garage and it feels great , but will have to wait a while for proper test as ther is still snow outside. More pictures to follow as sonn as I get those 2 bolts I am missing.
